The `WebpackBackend` class has `type` set as an instance variable: https://github.com/reactwaylabs/i18next-webpack-backend/blob/19bda9677f57cac0322d8f034e49fa7f51b0bc22/src/backend-plugin.ts#L9 But [according to the i18next docs](https://www.i18next.com/misc/creating-own-plugins#make-sure-to-set-the-plugin-type), it needs to be a _static_ variable: ```js class Backend { static readonly type = "backend"; } ```
